Part 7 – Neighbourhood plans (Holland Park–Tarragindi)
Effective 30 June 2014
(3)
When using this code, reference should be made to section 1.5, section 5.3.2 and
section 5.3.3.
Note—This neighbourhood plan includes a table of assessment. Refer to Table 5.9.29.A, Table 5.9.29.B, Table 5.9.29.C and
Table 5.9.29.D.
Note—Hillside character areas are steeper residential areas containing traditional character housing and significant ridgelines.
Hillside character is derived from the relationship of buildings to their physical setting. Traditional character housing built
following an historic subdivision pattern and located on well-treed hillsides results in a unique character of important visual
significance in the local context. Hillside character is retained and enhanced through sympathetic development that minimises
visual impact within its visual catchment.
7.2.8.1.2 Purpose
(1)
The purpose of the Holland Park—Tarragindi district neighbourhood plan code is to
provide finer grained planning at a local level for the Holland Park—Tarragindi district
neighbourhood plan area.
(2)
The purpose of the Holland Park—Tarragindi district neighbourhood plan code will be
achieved through overall outcomes including overall outcomes for each precinct for
the neighbourhood plan area.
(3)
The overall outcomes for the Holland Park—Tarragindi district neighbourhood plan
area are:
(a) A mix of housing densities and types serves the needs of the community,
especially the neighbourhood plan area’s young adult and elderly populations.
Identified character housing is retained with higher density housing encouraged in
proximity to major employment nodes and public transport.
(b) Sandy, Ekibin and Norman creeks are protected and enhanced for their ecological
and recreational values.
(c) The landscape and ecological values of Stephens Mountain, Wellers Hill reservoir
and Tarragindi Hill reservoir are retained and enhanced.
(d) The Greenslopes Private Hospital will continue to be the major employment node
for the neighbourhood plan area. Development respects the setting of the hospital
within a predominantly residential locality and maximises pedestrian and cyclist
accessibility between the hospital and the Greenslopes Busway Station.
(e) Public transport use is facilitated by upgrading pedestrian and cyclist access from
employment nodes, centres and residential precincts to the Greenslopes and
Holland Park Busway Stations. Relaxation of parking requirements in the vicinity of
the Busway Stations is inconsistent with outcomes sought due to potential
commuter parking conflicts.
(f) Significant views and vistas are protected. Development proposed in visually
prominent locations such as major ridgelines and hill tops is designed to achieve
minimal visual impact. Development forms that require cut and fill and
disturbance of vegetation are avoided.
(g) Development is of a height, scale and form which is consistent with the amenity
and character, community expectations and infrastructure assumptions intended
Part 7 – Neighbourhood plans (Holland Park–Tarragindi)
Effective 30 June 2014
for the relevant precinct, sub-precinct or site and is only developed at a greater
height, scale and form where there is both a community need and an economic
need for the development.
(4)
Parkland precinct (Holland Park—Tarragindi district neighbourhood plan/NPP-001)
overall outcomes are:
(a) This precinct indicates a site that is regarded as suitable for acquisition by the
Council for parkland.
(b) The site is part of a waterway corridor and links existing parkland on the western
and eastern side of Birdwood Road.
(c) Most of the site falls under the Flood Regulation Line and therefore is regarded as
unsuitable for development.
(5)
Greenslopes Busway Station precinct (Holland Park—Tarragindi district
neighbourhood plan/NPP-002) overall outcomes are:
(a) This precinct provides a range of housing types and other land uses including parks
and community facilities in close proximity to the Greenslopes Busway Station.
(b) Any non-residential and multiple dwelling development in this precinct
contributes to the upgrading of the pedestrian environment, including provision of
footpaths, street trees and other improvements to the accessibility of the Busway
Station.
(c) Development is designed to retain the landscape and ecological values of
Stephens Mountain.
(d) Development may be required to contribute towards improvements to the
intersection of Ridge Street and Barnsdale Place.
(e) The Energex depot sub-precinct (Holland Park—Tarragindi district neighbourhood
plan/NPP-002a) is occupied by Energex and is used for community purposes.
Development in this sub-precinct:
(i)
if this site were to redevelop, an appropriate use would be higher density
residential development that increases dwelling densities and provides
active uses adjacent to the Greenslopes busway station;
(ii)
is to be in accordance with any future approved structure plan.
(f) Stephens Mountain sub-precinct (Holland Park—Tarragindi district neighbourhood
plan/NPP-002b) mostly comprises remnant bushland featuring ecological and
landscape values which is used for park, providing opportunities for passive
recreation activities. Development in this sub-precinct:
(i)
if it were to redevelop in the part comprising disturbed former quarry
land of limited ecological or landscape value, an appropriate use would
be higher density residential development that increases dwelling
densities and provides active uses adjacent to the Greenslopes busway
station;
Part 7 – Neighbourhood plans (Holland Park–Tarragindi)
Effective 30 June 2014
(ii)
is to be in accordance with future approved structure plan.
(g) Development in the Nicholson Street sub-precinct (Holland Park—Tarragindi
district neighbourhood plan/NPP-002c):
(i)
provides for a range of housing types at low to low–medium density in
close proximity to the Greenslopes Busway Station.
(h) The Greenslopes Hospital sub-precinct (Holland Park—Tarragindi district
neighbourhood plan/NPP-002d) encompasses the Greenslopes Private Hospital
which is located in a predominantly residential locality. Development in this subprecinct:
(6)
(i)
should minimise adverse impacts to residential amenity and address
residential building bulk and scale;
(ii)
does not support expansion of hospital functions and associated medical
activities into the surrounding residential locality;
(iii)
residential activities supporting the functions of the hospital may be
appropriate in this locality;
